In response to the revelation of mistreatment and protests by the Chinese government, Noh stated "if foreigners think that Malaysia police are brutal, please go back to their own countries and not to stay here". Noh was reprimanded by Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi, and Noh issued an apology for his comments that British Broadcasting Corporation News described as "grudging at best".
